Our Moab Sustainability Policy
Epic 4×4 Adventures takes very seriously our responsibility to the land around us. We hope you do too.
Join Us In Practicing Responsible Tourism
The team at Epic 4×4 Adventures holds great reverence for the land we call home. Moab’s scenic trails and iconic red rocks provide the main source of our livelihood. We are committed to protecting the area’s beauty. Here are some of our guiding environmental principles:
1. Stay On The Marked Paths
Although the soil may seem inert, it’s actually teeming with life! Known as cryptobiotic soil, this layer of terrain is extremely sensitive to human contact. It is important that we protect this soil as it provides the literal foundation for other life in the area. To accomplish this, we do not stray from marked paths so we can avoid trampling this delicate yet critical ground.
2. Admire Nature From Afar
As the famous saying goes: “Take nothing but pictures. Leave nothing but footprints. Kill nothing but time.” Though we of course encourage guests to admire the plant and animal life in Moab, we ask that it not be disturbed in any way. Don’t tamper with plants, and don’t interact with animals. Marvel at nature’s wonders from afar. That way, we can preserve it for everybody.
3. Abide By All Bureau of Land Management Laws and Regulations
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is part of the U.S. Department of the Interior. The BLM’s mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of public lands for the continued use and enjoyment of present and future generations. Among their guiding principles, BLM cultivates community-based conservation, citizen-centered stewardship, and partnership through consultation, cooperation, and communication. At Epic 4×4 Adventures, we consider the BLM true experts in their field. We respect their guidelines and work in tandem with them to ensure our land is well-preserved.
4. Pack It In, Pack It Out. And Then Some.
On each of our tours, we bring along a few comfort items along with plenty of bottled water and light snacks. However, we ensure that everything we take onto the trail comes back with us for proper disposal. We also make it a habit to pack out what others may have accidentally left behind.
For Epic 4×4 Adventures, sustainability isn’t a buzzword. It’s our way of life.
FOR US, SUSTAINABILITY ISN’T A BUZZWORD: IT’S A WAY OF LIFE.
